Meet the chal­lenges of your intral­o­gis­tics processes with a smart and flex­i­ble automa­tion solu­tion: SOTO, the autonomous logis­tics robot, takes care of the mate­r­ial flow between machine and ware­house and future-proofs your production.

Is the automa­tion of your injec­tion mold­ing machines and their periph­er­als already well advanced, while your inter­nal logis­tics still rely on man­ual processes?

Does shift work, waves of sick leave, or the intro­duc­tion of new prod­ucts or machines repeat­edly present your com­pany with per­son­nel and logis­ti­cal challenges?

Then take the next log­i­cal step toward opti­miz­ing your processes and rely on the automa­tion of intral­o­gis­tics in your ware­house and pro­duc­tion envi­ron­ment with the logis­tics robot SOTO.

High labor costs

Skilled work­ers are tied up and can­not be deployed where their exper­tise has a direct impact on pro­duc­tion. Automa­tion and process opti­mi­sa­tion are key to chang­ing this.

Skills short­age

Tire­some tasks and demo­graphic change are mak­ing the search for skilled labour increas­ingly dif­fi­cult. Mod­ern, auto­mated processes ease the work­load, increase the com­pa­ny’s attrac­tive­ness as an employer and cre­ate oppor­tu­ni­ties for skilled labour to gen­er­ate added value.

Ergonom­ics

In shift work, phys­i­cal strain quickly adds up. Automa­tion of trans­port, work­ing along­side humans, offers a solution.

Human resources

Flex­i­ble work­ing and pro­duc­tion mod­els require sig­nif­i­cant plan­ning efforts. Intel­li­gent automa­tion solu­tions pro­vide the nec­es­sary flexibility.

The smart SOTO excels in injec­tion mould­ing pro­duc­tion. This autonomous mobile robot (AMR) is specif­i­cally designed to work safely along­side both humans and other machines.

 

Con­nected to the rel­e­vant ERP and MES sys­tem, SOTO receives its orders auto­mat­i­cally and com­pletes them inde­pen­dently thanks to its built-in intel­li­gence: it nav­i­gates autonomously between the auto­matic small parts ware­house (AS/RS) and the injec­tion mould­ing machine, exchang­ing full totes / small load car­ri­ers (KLTs) for empty ones. Mate­r­ial track­ing via bar­codes is pos­si­ble at any time.

Its large trans­port capac­ity keeps traf­fic within the pro­duc­tion area to a min­i­mum. Over­all, it cre­ates new oppor­tu­ni­ties to increase man­u­fac­tur­ing effi­ciency and deploy skilled work­ers where they are truly needed.

With its unique abil­ity to adapt to chang­ing pro­duc­tion con­di­tions while safely inter­act­ing with humans and machines alike, SOTO takes your logis­tics to the next level: flex­i­ble, scal­able, and efficient.

Box exchange accord­ing to machine cycle times

SOTO autonomously col­lects full totes / KLTs from the machine and places empty con­tain­ers based on machine cycle times.

Intel­li­gent grip­ping system

SOTO can accu­rately iden­tify and han­dle KLTs regard­less of their size, posi­tion, or height. If needed, it can rotate KLTs by 90° or 180°.

High trans­port capac­ity with mate­r­ial tracking

Up to 24 totes can be trans­ported simul­ta­ne­ously, 24/7. This ensures a con­tin­u­ous mate­r­ial flow and trans­parency through bar­code scanning.

Seam­less process inte­gra­tion and scalability

SOTO can be quickly and eas­ily inte­grated into exist­ing processes and adapted at any time. The sys­tem is also scal­able accord­ing to your needs.
